How to enter several firmware version for the same CPU

How should several firmware versions for the same CPU be entered in the table? I've got at least three versions for the KA410, for example. Vaxorcist (talk) 16:43, 14 August 2022 (CEST)

As in, several different DEC part numbers? I would just put them on different lines in the appropriate table cell; you can use '<br>' (technically, '<br />' to be 'legal' HTML, I guess, although plain '<br>' will work with most browsers) to force them to be separate lines. Here is an example; under 'Drive Controller(s)'. Or did you need something better?
